RE: [DMCForum] Firestone, and Ford..

["Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You shouldn't mount radials and bias on the same 'axle', that is true.  On
the front, the different handling characteristics can make the car very
squirrelly, and on the rear it can supposedly add some extra stress on the
differential (on rear drive).

 

I have a car with wide-white radials, but my spare is a bias ply.  I've
experienced this firsthand.

 

No problems I've ever heard of if you have 2 bias on the front, and 2
radials on the rear (and vice versa).
